Providence
Digital+Media: Environmental Justice Research Cluster at the Rhode Island School of Design
Lead by Sara Wylie, RISD Digital+Media and Graphic Design Students Jae Ok Lee, Byeongwon Ha, Kyuha Shim and Mara Streberger, James Schaffroth, Yuyu Chen,are developing a Roomba indoor air pollution hunting robot, a hydrogen sulfide screening tool and home-testing kit for environmental estrogens. We use lights on the Roomba to produce long-exposure image maps of rooms to identify sources of indoor air-pollution. The resulting photographs are beautiful and data rich examples can be seen here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/smartproof/5207305186/in/photostream/
